Sword God in a World of Magic

The Focus of the Mage started to burn fiercely again.

"Fireball!" the Mage shouted.

An instant later, a huge fireball shot out of the Focus, right towards Shang.

BANG!

Shang evaded to the side with a Fire Blast.

"Remote version!" the Mage added with a smirk.

BOOOOOOM!

Instead of continuing, the fireball exploded just as it passed Shang.

Shang's legs became severely burned, and the skin on the rest of his body didn't have it any better.

He hadn't expected that the Mage could detonate his fireball from a distance!

Luckily, the bit of Mana Shang had regenerated over the fight allowed him to heal his body, but he was out of Mana yet again.

BANG!

Nevertheless, Shang continued shooting at his opponent again.

By now, he had gotten rather close. Only twenty meters were between them.

BANG!

The Mage also released his own version of a Fire Blast to escape, but Shang kept charging after him.

In comparison to Shang, the Mage had to use his own Mana every time he did that.

Several small embers were left behind as he retreated.

As Shang shot after him, the Mage turned around with a grin.

"Fire Mine!"

Then, he snapped his finger.

BOOOOOM!

One of the small embers exploded violently just as Shang passed it.

The right side of Shang's body turned black, and his right arm essentially became useless.

Shang could only grit his teeth.

He didn't have any Mana to heal himself anymore.

The Mage gained a couple of meters due to this attack.
